Capítulo 457: You Complete me, Lili!

Sheng Li came to Ying Lili's chamber and found her reading some scrolls. She was on the stairs covered with a blue carpet, and above the five stairs lay a chaise. "What are you reading?" Sheng Li asked as he sat beside her on the stairs. "Why did you not sit on the chaise?" He then asked. 

Ying Lili lifted her eyes from the scroll and peered at him. "I wanted to sit here. I am reading this beautiful anthology by Scholar Qu," she said. Her weight rested on her left elbow. 

"You did not come for dinner. Are you preparing something big for me? Brother Wanxi told me that you have planned a surprise for me for my birthday," asserted Ying Lili as she scrolled up the scroll and put it aside. 

"Do not listen to Wanxi. He loves to ruin my plans for you," stated Sheng Li and leaned closer to her. "After four days, your birthday is coming. Just as you gave me a nice surprise, I will do the same. You shall wait," he proclaimed.
